Trilobite Genus/Species List?

[jkbrower]

I'm a relatively new trilobite collector/enthusiast/addict. Circumstances don't allow me to do my own hunting, so I'm stuck with buying. I've found that many (if not most) listings online, especially on eBay, will give the genus and species, but not the order and family. This information is important to me since, being an obsessive-compulsive collector, I must have at least one trilobite from each order. It's a curse--I'm trying to stop short of collecting one from each family or, God help me, genus (I'm not that rich). (I know I'm not the only one out there with this affliction. You know who you are.)

Is there a web site out there which gives the entire taxonomy for at least all trilobite genera or (wouldn't this be nice) a complete species list? I know that such a list would be outdated before it was published to the web site, but even a moderately outdated list would be really helpful.

Surprised no one has mentioned this website. 

 

A Guide to the Orders of Trilobites.

Looks like doushantuo did, but to a different section.

for Asaphids,this one is widely quoted:

for agnostid morphology i recommend this, a monograph that according to many is one of the best on a paleozoic group,period:

Well JK, it looks as if you have plenty of reading a head of you! Lol

[doushantuo]

As said, one of the most thorough sources on all things Trilo on the web: http://www.trilobites.info/

 

Researched, written and illustrated by the eminent Sam Ohu Gon III, a member here on the forum!

A lot of great information! I now have light bedtime reading for the rest of my life.

I think the site that is closest to what I'm looking for is http://trilobites.info/genera.htm "Alphabetical Listing of Trilobite Generic Names" (I love this whole web site, by the way). This allows you to start with a genus (from an eBay listing, for instance), and find the order, suborder, superfamily and family. (Sam Gon, you're my new hero!)

It is also available in PDF format, for a nominal fee.

And well worth every penny of that nominal fee, I might add.

BTW, I found exactly what I was looking for: the taxa browser in the Paleobiology Database (PBDB) navigator, https://paleobiodb.org/navigator/. Type in anything and it gives you the full taxonomy of whatever matches. Another great resource.
